good lime. A new kiln recently opened
by Farr & Harris is turning out from
three to five hundred bushels per day

These gentlemen employ some ten men
steadily and find ready market for all
that can be produced of their lime.
They recently signed contract to fur
nish 1000 bushels of lime to Evanston
parties and another for 5000 bushels
to build the New West Academy. The
enterprise is proving quite successful.

firearms of these gentlemen have placed

world, and to say that their other lines
are fully equal to their guns is only Civ
ing them due credit for their just
merits,
